Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
  • cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • Flake salt
  • Whipped cream optional
  • Chocolate Pearls optional
  • Raspberry Jam optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Spray a small 7” springform pan with baking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, cocoa powder, sugar, and flour.
  • Once fully combined, add the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
  • Transfer the mixture to the springform pan and sprinkle over flake salt. I used about ½ tsp but do it to your taste.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the middle is just set.
  • Immediately when you take the torte out of the oven, run a thin, sharp knife around the edge to loosen it from the sides. Be careful, it will be hot!
  • Allow the cake to come to room temperature before removing it from the pan. Top with whipped cream and chocolate pearls, if using. Serve with a spoonful of raspberry jam on the side.
  • Store any leftover torte in the refrigerator for up to two days.
